...and I'll probably say it a thousand more (that's why I put it in the Shooting The Breeze section).
I can't believe people just throw away the things the good things and keep the junk!!!
I just read the post about the son not wanting the dog tags that his dad left in Italy and was AGAIN reminded of the stuff that people toss out. My mom is the manager at a donation center and people come in there and actually tell her the stuff "belonged to: my dad, my mom, my grandmother, my grandad, my great-grandmother, my whatever...." "it's real old" blah blah blah...
She has received a WWII era nurse's cape (near mint condition), a pair of bib overalls (I don't know what they're really called, but they're green and they're made like bibs) from the "Army Air Forces", and two days ago a big plastic tote of old military uniforms that we haven't looked at yet.
Old handmade quilts, good grief how can you throw out something your grandmother sat there and hand quilted!!
So sad, sad, sad......
